You don't need to truly stream a video capture of the app, you can have a scanner on the server side decode the barcode in the web/virtualized Android app and then only stream a couple hundred bytes, having the client regenerate the barcode
Sure, it's possible, but come on, it's not practical.
Well, it wasn't practical before this blog post.
